You think your tired. Just imagine how tired the SOW development crew is dealing with hours and pressures of delivering this hugely complex sim.

I would rather them say nothing than tell us that there will be a website in December for them not to deliver. We were told a year ago that there would be regular updates every couple of weeks or so, it is a bit tiresome. Still it should be one fantastic sim with all the years spent working on it.

LOL...I've been here long enough to take everything with a "dose of salt" (or is it "grain of salt"? ...anyway), even projection dates.

He never said there "will be" a website by the end of December. He said "He hoped" there will be. Sh*te happens. Hopefully developments will procede and fall into place for an end of the year release with a comprehensive website and updates atleast by this summer. Unfortunately I think I'm losing my desire too fly combat flight sims. Maybe ROF or SOW will rekindle the excitement. I bought OFF3, it had some good qualities, but left me with little desire to fly it much.

Chivas, it will be a sad time for all if you decide to stop posting on this forum! But Luckly, with the prospect of an end of year release, there's plenty of time for interest (addiction?) to wain and then come back to the surface with a vengance!

All the best!

I know this is off topic, but I am curious, OFF3 - is it bad or just a much of the sameness? The difference between OFF3 and OFF2 is it worth it?
I was considering getting it but it has a hefty price tag for something that is an add-on to a four year old game.

There is one thing I always hated about MS flightsim and combatsim: When you quickly move your head to view around you, the game engine couldn't keep up with the graphics, ie filling in the tiles. Great immersion killer for me. I checked their preview movies and behold:





No thank you! I'll wait for Rise of Flight instead....

Thanks Vanderstok, you just saved me a heap of money!

Dear Feathered IV,
Just a point in question here. Regarding the graphics on CFS3-OFF3 I've noticed that it is really a question of how fast your Graphics card is. I recently upgraded both processor (duo) and card (8800gtx) and it is now almost not noticable, but still there slightly. I purchased OFF phase 3 and I find it exceptionally good......especially the AI - it really is a challenge and hard work. The makers have really worked hard on it.
Admittedly I personally am not strapped for cash so I will be getting RoF, SOW BoB and even Black Shark plus another upgrade as well, but if one has to watch the pennies it is not so easy.
I'm sure that RoF will deliver all it promises but at the same time BH&H is not far behind in my opinion and the makers should be encouraged to continue.
Best regards,
Pike.
